The provincial snowpack has dropped to nearly half of normal, but the Okanagan has shown some improvement.

The B.C. River Forecast Centre said the provincial snowpack average was about 57 per cent of normal as of June 1.

That was unchanged from the 57 per cent of normal on May 15, but down from the 66 per cent on May 1.

The centre noted that, on average, roughly 46 per cent of the seasonal snowpack melts by June 1, stating this year is back on trend as 52 per cent of the year’s snow has melted. That was not the case in 2023, when 86 per cent of the province’s snowpack had melted by June 1.
